Fact: Finding great, nay, the best gifts for Dad is nearly impossible for the man who has it all, especially for a special occasion like his birthday or, most importantly June 15, better known as Father’s Day. For me, it’s the one day when the pressure is really on, because finding a gift for my picky dad who doesn’t garden, fish, golf or mow the lawn isn’t easy. (And there are only so many "World's Greatest Dad" mugs he can fit in the cupboard or—let’s face it—gifts he’ll actually use for that matter.) Don’t get me wrong, dads will enjoy all the Father’s Day activities and crafts that are in store for them, but a little gift or two will make ‘em feel appreciated.
Maybe your dad is like my workaholic dad who’s always hungry to learn, and would be into a MasterClass subscription (starting at $10 per month, billed annually), which will give him access to thousands of videos where he can learn from masters in their field. I also think it’s time for my siblings and I to go in on upgrading to the latest Peloton bike, so he can keep up with his low-impact HIIT and LISS workouts. Or how about some tech gadgets from Sony or Apple for the techie? Is he a self-professed grill master? I’ve got just the thing.
Bottom line? I’ve sifted through more than 300 top gifts and narrowed it down to the 86 best gifts for dad—many under $100—in 2025 for the guy who’s been your number one supporter since day one, all guaranteed to light up his world.
